I saw a few people head out the Fire Escape, and informed my friends I was going to give it a shot...and I'd see them at the bar. As I exited the Fire Escape and began walking down the backstage catwalk out to Lawrence Av., the backstage door flew open and out comes Jerry! I was walking him out to his limo and complementing him on the show..."Hey thanks man, it felt good playing tonight!" I then told Jerry about this legendary jazz bar called The Green Mill and offered to buy him a cocktail..."Hey that sounds great, maybe next time...ok?!!" "Sure thing Jer...see you then." I then proceeded hurriedly into the bar to inform the people I knew what had just happened. Naturally I got the skeptical Dead Head look...but they could tell by my reaction that I had just walked the Big Guy out to his limo and had a quick chat! Uptown Toodeloo...what a great venue! <br />-Pat Kennedy Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15966638300006056737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18366371.post-25859797334401491242017-09-16T17:37:24.555-06:002017-09-16T17:37:24.555-06:00Found another reference to some scheduling weirdne...Found another reference to some scheduling weirdness: "The Jerry Garcia Band canceled its entire tour, but Garcia is expected here with the Grateful Dead before Christmas."
